  1. Pippy, you're a newbie again? lol I thought you had changed your status. Love the 9918 post newbies :)
  2. Now that's funny! You came up with ONE that doesn't but however is priced the same as some custom shop models...So to get a Les Paul without robotics you need to pay 4-5k...umm no thank you. I've been buying Les Paul guitars since 1976 have owned over 20 and still own 8. I've continually bought them for what they were, not what they have become. If I was alone in this I'd say ok just me, but when Gibson is alienating about 90% of their customer base, you can't say that's a good thing. I did say USA models not all. But a lot of people can't afford custom shop models. I take that back 4599 was for the 2014 Supreme. The 2015 is listed on Sweetwater for $6599...100 dollars more then a custom shop '59 re issue lol
  3. I don't think he ever used the words unacceptable in the video. I however will. Having these on every model to me IS unacceptable and the neck shape as well. If I wanted that neck I would of saved thousands of dollars over the years and just bought Ibanez guitars. The one I played, not only would it not tune correctly as well, I also didn't care for the neck. Not even going to get into the look of it...They had another in the store, but it was on a techs bench, as they were trying to get it to work The guy in the video was just a customer and was, from what I saw, trying to give them credit for things he did like. I agree with pretty much everything he said from my experience playing one. Gibsonkramer, the comments I've seen that were positive came from people that said, ooh that's a "pretty" guitar lol So I can pretty much figure out where there expertise is. And a sales manager that doesn't know much about their biggest line? Well that's GC for you lol. I don't really care if you like this G Force stuff or not, but to put them on every USA LP has to be one of the worst business decisions I've ever seen. And then charge more for them. I was pretty happy about the quality control the last few years and thought Gibson was making big steps in the right direction and then..."this"...If they had stuck with the direction they were going I would probably have paid the higher price anyhow. But with all these changes, no way.
